Yaw control

Hi Commanders,
Wee problem with yaw control;
My joy stick only has 3 axis controls on it. Pitch/Roll and speed.
I'm sure you used to be able to control the yaw with buttons, but the joystick set up doesn't offer the chance any more.
Is there a way to reinstate the button control option?
Happy hunting

Yaw on the joystick has always been axis-only. The only buttons that are allowed to control it are the keyboard ones.

Thanks for the quick response,
and the key board are supposed to be ',' and '.'
if so mine don't work.
Fraid I have no Idea on how to set key board key functions.
Any ideas?
Using XP windows oolite 1.72.2

Default keys for yaw are "," and "." as you say, but these can be changed. To change them, you must edit the keyconfig.plist found in <OoliteInstallDir>/oolite.app/Resources/Config. If you open it in a text editor, you will see - amongst other key settings - this:
Code: Select all
key_yaw_left = ",";
key_yaw_right = ".";
Change the comma and the dot inside the quotes to keys of your preference (alphanumeric is preferred), save keyconfig.plist and restart Oolite. You don't have to hold Shift down when restarting Oolite, after having edited keyconfig.plist.
It is highly advisable to make a copy of the original keyconfig.plist before you start, in case things turn less happy than expected.

That's great,
Didn't have a clue where to look for the keyconfig.
